World War I 1916 Dated Erfurt Karabiner 98 Bolt Action Rifle

Blade and tangent sights, with "Crown/ERFURT/1916", three "crown/script letter" proofs, a "crown/RC" Revision proof and an "Imperial eagle" on the receiver ring and "Kar 98." on the left side wall. Matching numbers are present on multiple components, including the barrel bands, floor plate, trigger guard, bolt, screws and stock. Smooth pistol grip stock, with a brown leather sling, "crown/letter" proofs, and a flat matching numbered buttplate.

ConditionVery good, with 40% plus original blue finish, showing areas of mixed brown and gray patina, a few patches of pitting, and scattered handling marks. The bolt assembly has been polished bright. The stock is good, with a small chip absent from the right side of the forearm near the front band, and mild dents and scratches overall. Mechanically excellent.
